R.E. Reports

RALEIGH, NC – (NCRSCCA) – Our season of racing was remarkable, considering the state of the economy. While revenues have been down, our specialty chiefs and other participants have cut costs, so we finished the season with a very small loss. This is great considering we processed a large amount of money through our club in that period of time.

Going into the 13 Hour race, we were low on entries. Our board reacted by removing obstacles some might have encountered trying to enter late. This and other moves helped get more entries into that race, and we wound up having a good number of entries, and having a good race. This helped our bottom line for the season.

It’s been awhile since my last article. Since the demise of the Bulletin, we’ve decided to publish updates on the website. It would be hard to report on all the activities since my last report, which summed up last year, so we’ll hit the highlights:

Wow – that was a quick year, and I don’t mean my driving, either. Near year’s end, it appears we have survived another season of racing in an unhealthy economy. This serves to prove how important racing is to us. Financially, we came up a little short of breaking even, but hope to learn and adjust to keep that from happening again.
